Discovery ABS
« on: November 10, 2005, 21:46:25 »
I've seen a post on one of the many forums I frequent about how to electrically disable the ABS system but I can't seem to find it now.

Anyone on here remeber where the article was or indeed has the required information?

It's for a '97 Disco 1 by the way....

Could I ask why you want to disable it?

You could pull one of the wheel sensors out - that would disable it!

BUT then it would flash the lights up & cause an MOT failure  :wink:

ive just remembered how to disable it totally in one easy manuver as i was working on a v8 disc not long ago where  the owner had had problems with the ABS & had taken the ECU out,is it a 300tdi style disco you have??

if so drop the glove box down & the ecu is in behind there,quick unplug & wala

brakes just the same as a disc braked 90,when you jump on them it WILL lock the wheels up,personally wouldnt advise you to disconnect the ABS system but thats MHO
